Periodic Maintenance

The drive has Maintenance Monitors that keep track of component wear. This feature provides advance maintenance
warning and eliminates the need to shut down the entire system for unexpected problems. The drive allows the user to
check predicted maintenance periods for the components listed below.
• Cooling Fan, Circulation Fan
• Electrolytic Capacitors
• Inrush Prevention Circuit
• IGBTs
For replacement parts, contact the distributor where the drive was purchased or contact Yaskawa directly.

◆ Replacement Parts

Table 7.3 contains the estimated performance life of components that require replacement during the life of the drive.
Only use Yaskawa replacement parts for the appropriate drive model and revision.

<1> The drive has few serviceable parts and may require complete drive replacement.
NOTICE: Estimated performance life based on specific usage conditions. These conditions are provided for the purpose of replacing
parts to maintain performance. Some parts may require more frequent replacement due to poor environments or rigorous use. Usage
conditions for estimated performance life:
• Ambient temperature:
Yearly average of 40°C (IP20/IP00 enclosure)
Yearly average of 30°C (IP20/NEMA 1, UL Type 1 enclosure, side-by-side mounting, finless drive or external heatsink installation)
• Load factor: 80% maximum
• Operation time: 24 hours a day
■
Performance Life Monitors Maintenance Monitors
The drive calculates the maintenance period for components that may require replacement during the life of the drive. A
percentage of the maintenance period is displayed on the digital operator by viewing the appropriate monitor parameter.
When the maintenance period reaches 100%, there is increased risk that the drive may malfunction. Yaskawa
recommends checking the maintenance period regularly to ensure maximum performance life.
When using maintenance monitors, set parameter L8-12 (Ambient Temperature Setting) and L8-35 (Installation Method
Selection) for use with the installation environment.

Alarm Outputs for Maintenance Monitors
An output can be set up to inform the user when a specific components has neared its expected performance life.
When one of multi-function digital output terminals has been assigned the maintenance monitor function (H2- = 2F),
the terminal will close when the cooling fan, DC bus capacitors, or DC bus pre-charge relay reach 90% of the expected
performance life, or the IGBTs have reached 50% of their expect performance life. Additionally the digital operator will
display an alarm like shown in

Table 7.3 Estimated Performance Life
Displays the accumulated operation time of the fan, from 0 to 99999 hours. This value is automatically reset to 0 once it
reaches 99999.
Displays the accumulated fan operation time as a percentage of the specified maintenance period.
Displays the accumulated time the capacitors are used as a percentage of the specified maintenance period.
Displays the number of times the drive is powered up as a percentage of the performance life of the inrush circuit.
Displays the percentage of the maintenance period reached by the IGBTs.
